Mrs. Shaw, the wife OF L. N. Shaw, died
suddedly last Thursday from heart disease.
Suicide was at first suspected, from the fsct
that the dead body of an infant was found

the fact that heart disease was the cause Of
death.

in which the "Drifter" Of last week impli-
estes himself in referring to one OF the boss.
e.. whose name. he says, contains /" j. {"
Mr.. '"Drifter" acquxints US with the fact
that this gentleman in question made bus
mess trip to Ironton, and, nj the same time,
does the injustice 30 insinuate that while
there he deFiated from the teachings Of st.
John AID im5ibed, to An extent, that mate
rial which affected his locomotion. He adds,
too, that he could not argue the question
through the REGISTER, but could argue a.
to how many times Mr.. Boss crossed from
one side Of the road to the other oes@esa.
Irontsn and Pilot Knob. /. strikes us rs n
self-evident fact that II his knowledge of this
was such rs to sustain An argument On that
point, he, too, Was little out OF his latitude.
We accept it As q matter Of fact that the
"Drifter's" information on the subject WAS
purely personal. and not for Q moment do
We believe he would make . matter OF this
kind known II Ii came to his ears in hear
say fashion: hence, as the saying goes, It
looks as though the "Drifter" WAS as deep
in the mud as the boss was in the mire.

P0MERoY AND LEWISTON RAIL
ROAD SURVEY.

Pomeroy Independent: W. had an
opportunity this week of gathering the
facts and figures as brought to light by
the actual survey on the line between
this point and Lewiston to determine the
practicability of constructing a railroad
between the two points named. Start.
ing from the depot at thi. place and
gradually climbing the hill to north of
Pataha City and on TO the head of the
gulch above Gilbert's aud on to the
grade n the head OF Megginson gu!ch
the grade is found 70 be to that point 23
per cent. or about l21! feet to the mile.
This, it will be noted, is away from the
Pataha creek and its bottom to the north
the entire distance. On the east OF the
Alpowai side Of the ridge the grade is 2
per cent. or 1856 feet to the mile, show.
ing couclusiveIy that the route is practi.
cable. But We are sorry to say the cx.
pense attending the construction Of this
line in trestles &C., will be a considerable
item in determining the early building Of
the line. If Mr.. Stephens, who is now
on the view, finds better route near the
timber the direction may be changed and
the distance increased about l6 milee.
If At al practicable. the route near New
hinueyis and Peola and down the Lew.
ton Flat to Lewiston preferable in many
respects to the more direct route over the
Alpowai ridge. The latter has tho ad
vantage Of 6ne timber near the line
for several miles ~ it sweeps by the vi.
cinity Of Peola. This is correct pre-.
sentatioa Of the facts developed up to
this writing. Our information from .
high source Is 70 the effect that the com.
pany means to construct the line at an
early day if circumstances are favorable.
A few more days will determine the
question for this season. When the iipal
report, which will be within one month,
= made BY the surveying party on the
said line, the construction win begin o.
- postpoaAd tor The season.

A Shocking Crime that has Excited the
People Of Douglas County, osn.

RosEBURo, May 1.-THE town was
thrown into great excitement this morn
ing BY the news that Mrs. Paul Bruck-
ner, who lives with her parents eight
south Of Roseburg, had been murdered
or committed suicide. The coroner, ac-
companied by many citizens, repaired to
the scene and discovered a
crowd Of neighbors already there. The
details Of th' ~f,ir are extremely horri.
bic, and point to the conclusion that the
woman was murdered. The family con.
sists Of Stephen Limbeck and wife, and
grown son Paul and the murdered dadyh.
ter, whose husband has been for several
months absent in Eastern Oregon, and
who was expected home shortly. The
first the neishbors were apprised Of the
affair was this morning about Z O'clock
The story as told BY the family is that
about II O'Clock last night, after all had
retired, they missed their daughter. Co.
ing to the barn, about 300 yards from
the house, they found pools Of blood on
the floor and walls. Following the trick.
ling Of the blood to the river, about Lalf
mile distant, they discovered the body Of
the daughter in the water near the edge.
She was in her night clothes, and her
throat was. cut from car to ear, aud the
arteries Of her left arm were cut with
deep gashes. None Of the neishbUgs
were aroused until this morning. A;
note claiming to be from the dead
woman, was shown BY the family to-day
saying she was sick and tired Of life, and
not to grievc 1t her death.
The almost universal opinion Is that 4
dreadful murder has been committed

and had been married three yeasA he.

LETTER FROM LEWISTON.

S"AooS AN"oo1 NAuy ACOSs
EDITOR TELLER:
l have been travelling much over this
eastern country, and visited mauy of the
new towns which have been started, and
and some Of them attained considerable
growth and seem to be doing consider
able business, especially where a few
men among their citizens have little
push and goa head spirit among them,
and take a reasonable pride in trying to
help the growth Of their respective
places, aud don't withhold the necessary
time and expense to make improvements
that look like permanency. If they
have natural advantages that can be i'm
proved and can be made attractive to the
tradesman and the farmer who visits the
town, every dollar expended in embel-
fishing the town and 10 advertising the
advantages of its locality, tho stir and
enterprise Of its citizens is sure to come
back with four.fold increase Of the
wealth Of the place whether in the ad.
vancement of the value Of it's real estate,
the increase of its general business, or
the sociabiIity and happiness and con.
tentment Of its people. Every man is
disposed to cheerfully contribute of his
substance not only to make himself bet.
ter, but TO do something for the general
good. Supreme sol6shncss does not
seem to be the ruling passion. The peo.
pie seem ready to reasonably consult and
confer together 10 devisiug ways and
means, whereby they can make the ad.
vantages which the town persons show
to the best advantage to all new coners,
and always seem glad to have strangers
come among them and to show them
the open chances for new business in the
town or surrounding country. This
spirit is greatly in contrast with surly
looks and the Struggling of the shoulders
of the men Of narrow and jealous minda
who seem to fear some man more sbrewd
than themselves may chance 10 see some
more advantageous chances for doing bus.
iness than they themselves have ever
seen, by which they can succeed better
than they have ever done. Among oil
the towns that I have seen in this upper
country, ! know of no one which has
better natural advantages iu point Of eli.
mate, fertility of soil, and richness Of
surroundings, ease Of approach from
abroad BY water, and which will soon be
by rail, than Lewiston, and while the
people Of Lewiston have shown much en-.
terprise in erecting few good business
houses, several school houses and
churches. But when We consider the
age Of the town settled in 1860, We won.
der that it has not grown to foor or Eve
times its present size, having been the
entrepet Of the rich mines east of the
place, and ! am led to ask myself the
question-what has retarded its rapid
growth2 I can learn Of no great fiuan.
cial calamity that has ever befalleu them,
and hence / must conclude that come
Ingredient ia wanting in the composition
Of the people to give them greater vital
ity. Will some friend of the place point
out what that may b and remedy.

John Wright Dead.

John T. Wright, the genial young
merchant, who has been sick for
several weeks, died at his father's
near Sinking Fork, Saturday night
and was buried In the Brick Church
graveyard Sunday afternoon. The
tumor caused by bruise, which was
the cause Of all his suilcrings, finally
led to blood poisoning and death en-
sued. Deceased was young man Of
excellent character aud habits.
Though still under 30, he had BY his
own exertions accumulated enough
capital to go into business and build
up a large patronage in the clothing
and furnishing business at the corner
of Main and TIL streets. Genial aud
vivacious In his disposition, uniform
ly courteous and polite, he was
popular with everybody and his TN.
timely death causes universal regret.
lIopkinsville has lost one OF its most
promising young business men and
the community valuable citizen.

his wife to stop and explain. She
paid no attention TO min and ne let
